spended solids, but the leakage is large. Its flow characteristics are achieved at the corners. The front and equal percentage characteristics are similar, but the work will be unstable and the characteristics will not be good in the future; use in the corner range. Butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also used in cooling water systems of thermal power stations.

2. Ball valve:
The ball valve is defined in the standard GB/T21465-2008 “Valve Terminology” as a valve in which the opening and

closing part (sphere) is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the axis of the valve stem. The ball valve has a 90-degree rotation. The cock body It is a sphere with a circular through hole or channel passing through its axis. It is mainly used to cut off or connect the medium in the pipeline, and can also be used for fluid adjustment and control. Among them, the hard-sealed V-shaped ball valve has a strong shear between the V-shaped core and the metal seat of the hard alloy. Shearing force is especially suitable for media containing fibers and tiny solid particles. The multi-way ball valve can not only flexibly control the confluence, divergence, and flow direction switching of the

medium in the pipeline, but also close any channel and connect the other two channels. This type of valve should generally be installed horizontally in the pipeline. Ball valve classification: pneumatic ball valve, electric ball valve, manual ball valve. The ball valve can be closed tightly with only a 90-degree rotation and a small torque. The ball valve is most suitable for use as a switch and shut-off valve, V-shaped ball valve. In the developed western countries, the use of ball valves is increasing year by year. In our country, ball valves are widely used in petroleum refining, long-distance pipelines, chemicals, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, water conservancy, electric power, municipal administration, steel and other industries. Occupy a pivotal position in the national economy.

3. Cam flex valve:

Cam flex valve, also known as eccentric rotary valve, is also a new-type regulating valve. The center line of the spherical valve core deviates from the center of the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft drives the valve core to rotate eccentrically, so that the valve core enters the valve seat forward and downward.

The eccentric rotary valve has the advantages of small size, light weight, reliable use, convenient maintenance, strong versatility, and low fluid resistance. It is suitable for occasions with high viscosity and has good performance in lime, mud and other fluids.

Valve actuator / actuation -(3)-classifications

Double acting valve actuator:
The selection of double-acting actuators takes DA series pneumatic actuators as an example. The output torque of

Pneumatic actuator (2)

Pneumatic actuator (2)

the gear-and-pinion actuator is the piston pressure (supplied by the air source pressure) multiplied by the pitch circle radius (arm). And the friction resistance is small and the efficiency is high. The output torque is linear when rotating clockwise and counterclockwise. Under normal operating conditions, the recommended safety factor for double-acting actuators is 25-50%

Single-acting valve actuator:
The selection of single-acting actuator takes the SR series pneumatic actuator as an example. In the application of spring return, the output torque is obtained during two different operations. According to the stroke position, each operation produces two different torque values. The output torque of the spring-return actuator is obtained by multiplying the force (air pressure or spring force) by the force arm. The first situation: the output torque is obtained by air pressure entering the central cavity to compress the spring, which is called “air stroke output torque”. In this case, the air source pressure forces the piston to turn from 0 degrees to 90 degrees. Due to the reaction force generated by the compression of the spring, the torque gradually decreases from the maximum value

at the starting point to the second condition: the output torque is the spring recovery when the middle cavity loses air. The force acting on the piston is called “spring stroke output torque”. In this case, due to the extension of the spring, the output torque gradually decreases from 90 degrees to 0 degrees. As mentioned above, the single-acting actuator is based on two It is designed on the basis of generating a balance torque under this condition.

Linear valve actuator:
1. Through single seat valve

The so-called single seat means that there is only one valve core and one valve seat in the valve body. Its characteristics are simple structure, small leakage (even completely cut off) and small allowable pressure difference. Therefore, it is suitable for occasions requiring clean media with small leakage and small working pressure difference. Special attention should be paid to the allowable pressure difference in the application to prevent the valve from closing.

2. Straight through double seat valve

There are two valve cores and valve seats in the valve body of the straight-through double-seat regulating valve. Compared with the single seat valve of the same caliber, its flow capacity is about 20% to 25% larger. Because the force of the fluid on the upper and lower valve cores can cancel each other, but the upper and lower valve cores are not easy to close at the same time, the double seat valve has the characteristics of large allowable pressure difference and large leakage. Therefore, it is suitable for clean media where the pressure difference between the two ends of the valve is large and the leakage requirement is not high. It is not suitable for high viscosity and fiber-containing occasions.

3. Angle valve

The valve body of the angle control valve is right-angled, its flow path is simple, and the service force is small. It is suitable for the control of high pressure difference, high viscosity, suspended solids and granular materials. Generally used for bottom inlet and side outlet, this kind of control valve has better stability. In high pressure situations, in order to prolong the service life of the spool, the side inlet and the bottom outlet can be used, but oscillation is prone to occur in small openings.

Valve actuator / actuation -(2)-classification and working principle

Classification of valve actuators:
(1) According to the driving energy used, the actuator is divided into three types: pneumatic, electric and hydraulic actuators.
(2) According to the form of output displacement, the actuator has two types: angle type and linear type.

Pneumatic actuator (2)

Pneumatic actuator (2)

(3) According to the law of action, actuators can be divided into three types: switch type, integral type and proportional type.
(4) According to the input control signal, the actuator can be divided into several types, such as air pressure signal, direct current signal, electric contact on-off signal, pulse signal, etc.

The working principle of valve actuator:
In the gear stage, the engine speed can be transmitted to the output rod through two sets of gears. The main reducer is completed by planetary gears, and the auxiliary reducer is realized by worm gears, which are fixed in the center by a set of tight springs. In the event of an overload, that is, when the output rod exceeds the set torque of the spring, the central worm gear will undergo axial displacement, and the switches and

signal devices will be fine-tuned to provide protection for the system. The output rod is coupled with the worm gear when the engine is working, and is coupled with the hand wheel when it is manually operated, under the action of the coupling operated by the external change control lever. When the engine is not working, the motor drive can be easily cut off, and the handwheel can be connected by simply pressing the lever. Since the motor drive takes

precedence over manual operation, when the engine restarts, the reverse action will automatically occur. This can avoid turning on the hand wheel when the engine is running, which is beneficial to protect the system.

Since the hand wheel is directly coupled with the output rod, it can ensure the normal manual operation of the valve when the internal gear fails or is damaged.

The switch and signal device installed on the gear is a sealed shell, which protects its internal components to achieve

the following functions:

  • Local or remote display of valve position
  • Actuator/valve overload protection
  • Limit valve stroke range
  • Electrical interface

The installation of valve actuators on different types of valves is completed by the output rod, which can be applied to various existing valve rod configurations.

Valve actuator / actuation -(1)-introduction

The valve actuator is an indispensable part of the valve automatic control system. Its function is to accept the control signal sent by the controller, change the size of the controlled medium, so as to maintain the controlled variable at

the required value or within a certain range. According to their energy form, actuators can be divided into three categories: pneumatic, hydraulic and electric. Pneumatic actuators use compressed air as energy source. They are characterized by simple structure, reliable action, stable operation, large output thrust, convenient maintenance, fire and explosion prevention, and low price. Therefore, they are widely used in chemical, paper, and oil refining production processes. It can be conveniently used in conjunction with passive instruments. Even when using electric instruments or computer control, as long as the electric signal is converted into a standard pressure signal of 20-100kPa by an electric-pneumatic converter or an electric-pneumatic valve positioner, pneumatic actuators can still be used. The electric actuator has convenient energy access and rapid signal transmission, but the structure is complex and the explosion-proof performance is poor. The hydraulic actuator is basically not used in the chemical, oil refining and other production processes. It is characterized by a large output thrust.

Definition of valve actuator:
The actuator is a combination of the actuator and the control valve in the automatic control system. Its role in the automation control system is to receive the signal from the regulator or computer (DCS, PLC, etc.), and adjust the flow of the process medium based on its position and characteristics in the process pipeline, so that the controlled automation instrument is in production Within the range required by the process.

Basic composition of valve actuator:
Types of valve actuators:
In the process control system, the actuator is composed of two parts: the actuator and the automatic adjustment mechanism. The automatic adjustment mechanism directly changes the parameters of the production process through the actuator, so that the production process meets the predetermined requirements. The actuator accepts the control signal from the controller and converts it into the output of the drive adjustment mechanism (such as angular displacement or linear displacement output). It also uses appropriate actuators, but the requirements are different from the adjustment mechanism. The actuator is installed directly on the production site, sometimes with harsh working conditions. Whether it can maintain normal operation directly affects the safety and reliability of the automatic adjustment system.

The structure of the valve actuator:
A device in an automated control technology tool that accepts control signals and exerts a control function on the controlled object. According to the driving energy used, the actuators are divided into 3 categories: pneumatic, electric and hydraulic actuators.

Valves’ sealing requirements and daily maintenance

The sealing performance of the valve refers to the ability of each sealing part of the valve to prevent the leakage of the medium. It is the most important technical performance index of the valve. There are three sealing parts of the valve:

marine valve seat

marine valve seat

the contact between the opening and closing parts and the two sealing surfaces of the valve seat; the matching place between the packing and the valve stem and the stuffing box; the connection between the valve body and the valve cover. One of the previous leakage is called internal leakage, which is commonly referred to as lax closure, which will affect the valve’s ability to cut off the medium. For shut-off valves, internal leakage is not allowed. The latter two leaks are called external leakage, that is, the medium leakage from the valve to the outside of the valve will cause material loss, pollute the environment, and cause accidents in severe cases. For flammable, explosive, toxic or radioactive media, leakage is not allowed, so the valve must have reliable sealing performance.

Daily maintenance of the valve:
1. Pay attention to the storage environment of the valve. It should be stored in a dry and ventilated room, and both ends of the passage should be blocked.

2. The valve should be inspected regularly, the dirt on it should be removed, and anti-rust oil should be applied to its surface.

3. The valve after installation and application should be overhauled regularly to ensure its normal operation.

4. Check whether the sealing surface of the valve is worn or not, and repair or replace it according to the situation.

5. Check the wear of the trapezoidal thread of the valve stem and the valve stem nut, whether the packing is out of date and invalid, etc., and replace it if necessary.

6. The sealing performance of the valve should be tested to ensure its performance.

7. The valve in operation should be intact, the bolts on the flange and the bracket are complete, the threads are not damaged, and there is no looseness.

8. If the handwheel is lost, it should be prepared in time and cannot be replaced with an adjustable wrench.

9. The packing gland is not allowed to be skewed or without pre-tightening clearance.

10. If the valve is used in a harsh environment and is easily contaminated by rain, snow, dust, sand and other dirt, a protective cover should be installed for the valve stem. 11. The ruler on the valve should be complete, accurate and clear, and the valve should be sealed and capped.

12. The insulation jacket should be free of dents and cracks.

13. Avoid hitting the valve during operation, or supporting heavy objects.

(1) Angle stroke includes ball valve, butterfly valve, plug valve, etc.

(2) Straight stroke includes gate valve, globe valve, angle seat valve, etc.

This classification method is divided according to the principle, function and structure. It is the most commonly used international and domestic classification method. General gate valve, cut-off

Valves, throttle valves, instrument valves, plunger valves, diaphragm valves, plug valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, check valves, pressure relief valves, safety valves, traps, regulators Valves, bottom valves, filters, drain valves, etc.

Because the valve has a wide range of uses, it also plays a great role. For example, in power plants, valves can control the operation of boilers and steam turbines; in petroleum and chemical production, valves also control the normal operation of all production equipment and technological processes. The same is true in other departments. Nevertheless, the comparison of valves with other products is often overlooked. For example: When installing machinery and equipment, people tend to focus on the main machinery and equipment, but ignore the valve. This will reduce the overall production efficiency or stop production, or cause various other accidents. Therefore, serious and responsible work must be carried out on the selection, installation and use of valves.

Electric drive valve is a commonly used drive valve. The drive device of this drive device form is usually called the valve electric device. The characteristics of the valve electric device are as follows: 1) Rapid opening and closing can greatly shorten the time required to open and close the valve; 2) It can greatly reduce the labor intensity of the operator, especially suitable for high-pressure, large-diameter valves; 3) Suitable for installation in locations that cannot be manually operated or difficult to access, easy to achieve remote control, and the installation height is not limited; 4 ) Conducive to the automation of the entire system; 5) Power is easier to obtain than air and liquid sources, and the laying and maintenance of its wires are much simpler than compressed air and hydraulic pipelines.

The disadvantage of the valve electric device is its complex structure, and it is more difficult to use it in wet places. When used in explosive media, explosion-proof measures are required. Valve electric devices can be divided into two categories: Z-type and Q-type according to the type of valve they drive. The output shaft of the Z-type valve electric

device can rotate many times, which is suitable for driving gate valves, stop valves, diaphragm valves, etc.; the output shaft of the Q-type valve electric device can only rotate 90. , Suitable for driving plug valves, ball valves and butterfly valves. According to its protection type, there are ordinary type, explosion-proof type (represented by B), heat-resistant type (represented by R) and three-in-one type (ie outdoor, anti-corrosion, explosion-proof, represented by S).

The valve electric device is generally composed of a transmission mechanism (reducer), a motor, a stroke control mechanism, a torque limit mechanism, a manual-electric switching mechanism, and an opening indicator.

Pneumatic and hydraulic valves:

Pneumatic valves and hydraulics use a certain pressure of air, water or oil as the power source, and use the movement of cylinders (or hydraulic cylinders) and pistons to drive the valves. Generally, the pneumatic air pressure is less than 0.8MPa, and the hydraulic water pressure or The oil pressure is 2.5MPa~25MPa. For example, it is used to drive a diaphragm valve; the rotary gas and liquid drive device is used to drive a ball valve, a butterfly valve or a plug valve. The hydraulic device has a large driving force and is suitable for driving large-diameter valves. If it is used to drive plug valves, ball valves and butterfly valves, the reciprocating motion of the piston must be converted into a rotary motion. In addition to using the piston of a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder to drive, there is also a pneumatic film drive. Because of its small stroke and driving force, it is mainly used for regulating valves.

Manual valve:

Manual valve is the most basic drive valve. It includes direct drive by handwheel, handle or wrench and drive by transmission mechanism. When the opening torque of the valve is large, it can be driven by gear or worm gear to save effort. Gear transmission is divided into spur gear transmission and bevel gear transmission. Gear transmission reduction ratio is small, suitable for gate valves and globe valves, worm gear transmission reduction ratio is relatively large, suitable for plug valves, ball valves and butterfly valves.

Installation attentions for valves

Precautions for valve installation:

Globe valves, throttle valves, pressure reducing valves, check valves and other valves are all directional. If the throttle valve is installed upside down, it will affect the use effect and life. If the pressure reducing valve does not work at all, if it is stopped The return valve can even cause danger.

lift-swing-check-valve-2

Generally, the valve has a direction mark on the valve body; if not, it should be correctly identified according to the working principle of the valve.

The valve cavity of the shut-off valve is asymmetrical left and right, and the fluid must pass through the valve port from bottom to top, so that the fluid resistance is small (determined by the shape), and the opening is labor-saving (due to the upward pressure of the medium), and the medium does not press the packing after closing, which is convenient for maintenance . This is the reason why the globe valve cannot be reversed. Other valves also have their own characteristics.

The valve installation location must be convenient for operation; even if the installation is temporarily difficult, it is necessary to consider the long-term work of the operator.

It is best to keep the valve hand wheel flush with the chest (usually 1.2 meters away from the operating floor), so that opening and closing the valve is easier. The hand wheel of the floor valve should be upward, do not tilt, to avoid

Globe valve (9)

Globe valve (9)

awkward operation. The valve of the wall machine and the equipment should also leave room for the operator to stand. It is necessary to avoid operating from the sky, especially acid and alkali, toxic media, etc., otherwise it is very unsafe.

Do not install the gate valve upside down (that is, the handwheel is down), otherwise the medium will remain in the valve cover space for a long time, which will easily corrode the valve stem, and it is taboo for certain process requirements. At the same time, it is extremely inconvenient to replace the packing.

1. The pressure reducing valve should be installed upright on the horizontal pipeline, and not inclined in all directions.

2. As for the lift check valve, make sure its valve flap is vertical when installing it so that it can be lifted flexibly.

3. Swing check valve, ensure that its pin shaft is level when installing, so that it can swing flexibly.

4. Do not install the rising stem gate valve underground, otherwise the exposed stem will be corroded due to moisture.

Current status and development of Chinese valves

Domestic status: In terms of technical support for valve production and R&D, domestic valves are not lagging behind foreign valves. On the contrary, many products are comparable to international companies in terms of technology

lug type butterfly valve-ductile iron

lug type butterfly valve-ductile iron

and innovation. The development of the domestic valve industry should move towards high-end modernization.

Driven by the four major forces of industrialization, urbanization, reform and globalization, the prospects of my country’s valve equipment manufacturing industry are still broad. In the future, high-end, localization, and modernization of the valve industry will be the main development direction of the valve industry in the future. Pursuing continuous innovation and creating a new market for valve companies can enable companies to survive and develop in the increasingly competitive pump and valve industry.

With the continuous development of valve technology and the continuous expansion of valve application fields, corresponding valve standards are becoming more and more indispensable. The valve industry products have entered a period of innovation. Not only the product categories need to be updated, but the internal management of the enterprise also needs to deepen the reform according to the industry standards.

Therefore, it is necessary to make full use of existing standards while looking forward to the future, and to develop new standards and new systems that can be used in the future, so as to promote the higher-level development of valve technology. In the future, the valve industry will develop in two main directions: one is to develop from a single variety to multiple varieties and specifications; the other is to develop in the direction of energy saving.

According to industry insiders, pump and valve companies can only effectively and clearly understand the status quo of the industry, continuously strengthen and optimize their products, strengthen their awareness of danger, strengthen corporate culture and market service concepts, and only achieve fastness in stability, refinement in fastness, and stability in refinement. Only in this way can companies survive and develop in the increasingly competitive pump and valve industry.

The society is an era of information explosion. It is inevitable for companies to encounter competitors in products. There is competition in the industry, which is a good thing for some companies. Because of competition, enterprises have improved the quality of products and services, and consumers have obtained better or more consumption and services with less money. The market is a “screen”. While the industry is developing and progressing, the market is also surviving the fittest enterprises in the industry. Although the current status of the development of the butterfly valve industry is gaining momentum, the national support policies have been greatly improved, and the market demand has continued to increase. Due to the fierce competition in the industry, the pump and valve industry has also made domestic pump and valve related technologies to improve, but many interference factors indicate The development prospects of the pump valve industry are not optimistic.

For some large competitive enterprises, through competition, the scale of the enterprise has become larger and larger, and the popularity has become higher and higher. However, for some small and medium-sized enterprises that are not competitive, they may face the risk of being merged or going bankrupt. In the increasingly fierce valve market, only companies with core competitiveness can gain a foothold in the market, and innovation becomes a weapon for companies to win the market.
